A note from Nada Bakri

"I do not approve of and will not be a part of any public discussion of Anthony's passing. It does nothing but sadden Anthony's children to have to endure repeated public discussion of the circumstances of their father's death."
–Nada Bakri, wife of the late Anthony Shadid

House of Stone

Shadid's upcoming book about his family’s ancestral home in Lebanon will be published this spring. He found a story of hope, healing, but perhaps most powerfully, loss, in a Middle East whose future rests in understanding its past.
